324w^8 y^8/48w^6 y^6
Simplify by removing the factors of 1
----------
Factors of 1, eg, are 6/6
324w%5E8y%5E8%2F48w%5E6y%5E6
Do the 6/6
= 54w%5E8y%5E8%2F8w%5E6y%5E6
Then 2/2
= 27w%5E8y%5E8%2F4w%5E6y%5E6
Then w^6/w^6
= 27w%5E2y%5E8%2F4y%5E6
Then y^6/y^6
= 27w%5E2y%5E2%2F4
----------
Your answer is right.
